In one game, Ted Nolan has doubled our non-shootout win total for the year and taken us out of the league basement. It'll be like winning consecutive Jack Adams trophies behind our bench, just 17 years apart.

Then he gets himself fired next summer and joe Sacco takes over to secure McDavid!

Well he just sent away most of the youth. No more Larsson, Zadorov, Ristolainen, and Grigorenko, who did not play in either of Nolan's games and is now on a "conditioning stint" in Rochester. Could mean we see Luke Adam. Maybe Mike Zigomanis makes his Sabres debut 14 years after being drafted as another shot to Regier. Sulzer could be back up, as could Kaleta.

And with how our organization is run, I fully expect Hawerchuk to be our next coach, which would probably make me soil myself. In a good way.

If Staz does leave us I hope he gets to go feed stewie or Kessel for goals all day. Kessel because Staz could challenge an assist a game in Toronto while being paid crazy money, stewie because Staz and Manbearpig had such awesome chemistry when stewie would try.

For Holmgren reasons, I can not completely discount any scenario, but... no.

Homer is why I added Coburn and the pick/prospect, but Simmonds/Schenn for Gagner/Ebs seems like it would make a lot of sense. Putting Ebs with hartnell and Giroux will really jump start that first line and let Vinny play with Voracek and Gagner to really roll. The d still sucks for both teams but it would balance out the forward cores and could really boost both teams while they keep looking for defensive solutions.

I don't know if I'd assume that, unless the Kings really want him to abstain. The situation is still a little muddled, though. Anderson sucks again. Howard will be there. Thomas and Miller are playing pretty well on bad teams. Schneider isn't getting a majority of work. Not sure if Bishop would have made enough of an impression, though he may have scored points from playing at the WC. It is feeling like Miller will be there. Maybe starting with Quick in doubt? It seems weird to think that with how he was viewed entering the year and how horrendous his team has been since, but it feels like a real possibility.

14-3-3 is the best Blues start after 20 games in Franchise history. Hard to believe. We've never won a cup, but we've had some incredible teams.

The other day a local radio station was talking about most hated teams in St. Louis. Redwings were mentioned a lot because of the success they had against us in the playoffs, Stevie Y's double OT goal was mentioned as ruining many childhoods.....I watched it on youtube like 100 times after, no idea why. That goal and the Braves beating the Cards 15-0 in game 7 made for a terrible 1996.

I don't remember a lot about that season, just really remember the playoffs, and Chris Pronger throwing a Toronto player on top of Grant Fuhr breaking his leg. So maybe we should blame Pronger. I also thought the Blues had to be a good team, with Hull, Pronger, Maccinnis, Gretzky.....Corson and Courtnall were really solid players and Fuhr.....We finished 32-34 what the **** is that? 80 points was good enough for 4th place lol, Redwings were like 62-13.

i'd really love to be in a room with babcock and holland so they could explain exactly wtf they're doing. i mean, they're clearly brilliant guys. they've made some incredible moves to keep this team relevant for so long without ever having a top pick. i know they're not inherently stupid. but i have absolutely no understanding whatsoever of some of the moves they make.

I'm admittedly a new hockey fan (3 or 4 years now) thanks to my friend who is a die hard wings fan and defends them to death. Even he is beyond the point of defending this crap.

Detroit is in there final sakic years, where the HOFers on the team will keep them in the playoffs, so management will keep wasting youth while focusing on vets for "one last run", at best they'll come out of this horrendous and tank, at worst this'll buy them enough time to build a mediocre set of young players that'll keep them in a calgary position for the next 5 years.
